Answer:

Step by step explanation

First, we have to convert 3 1/2 into a decimal, so we have to do the following:

1/2 = 1 divided by 2 3 1/2 = 3 + (1÷2) = 0.5 (1 ÷ 2 done by long division)

Then we add the whole number.

3 + 0.5 = 3.5

Next, we multiply

3.5 x 16 = 56 ounces.

Answer:

3 pounds and 8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound (lbs) = 16 ounces (oz)

Using both pounds and ounces, the problem is asking us to eliminate the decimal and substitute it for the number of ounces (a smaller unit than pounds)

So we know it is 3 pounds, but what is half a pound equal to in terms of ounces?

Remember 1 lb = 16 oz, so 1/2 of a lb = half of 16 oz

Half of 16 (or 16 ÷ 2) equals 8

Therefore, half a pound equals 8 ounces

Combining the two units together means the boxes weigh 3 pounds and 8 ounces
